South Carolina congresswoman and MAGA favorite Nancy Mace threatened to sue New York Magazine over a social media post misidentifying the Republican firebrand as the soccer coach accused of sexually harassing ‘Call Her Daddy’ host Alex Cooper at Boston University over a decade ago.

‘@NYMag, and anyone repeating this lie: Take it down or lawyer up,’ Mace wrote in a response to the erroneous and since-deleted New York Magazine post. ‘We are demanding an immediate retraction and full correction.’

Cooper, a popular podcaster and a symbol of modern feminism to many young women, recently made a Hulu documentary about her life, including her experiences playing soccer at BU.

Daily Mail has reached out to Boston University officials and Nancy Feldman for comment, as did Vanity Fair, which first reported the allegations. Neither BU nor Feldman have responded to the requests.

None of this would have anything to do with Mace, were it not for the aforementioned X post, which used Mace’s last name instead of Feldman’s – something the Congresswoman won’t easily forgive.

‘You don’t get to smear me with a lazy, dangerous typo,’ read Mace’s post.

Mace made it perfectly clear she ‘never met,’ ‘never coached,’ and ‘never—ever—sexually harassed’ Cooper.

To New York Magazine’s credit, the social media mistake was deleted and corrected.

‘Cooper’s coach was Nancy Feldman,’ read a follow-up post from New York Magazine. ‘Our original post on X incorrectly identified her.’

Despite New York Magazine’s correction, Mace’s angry post remains up on X.

‘The obvious error has been corrected,’ one person responded to Mace. ‘The only one disseminating this is you. My goodness.’

Cooper has further claimed she went to school officials about Feldman’s behavior, only to have her concerns dismissed.

‘It was this psychotic game of, “You wanna play? Tell me about your sex life. I have to drive you to your night class, get in the car with me alone,”‘ Cooper claimed in the film, Call Her Alex.

‘I started trying to spend as little time as possible with her. Taking different routes to practice where I knew I wouldn’t run into her, during meetings, I would try to sit as far away from her as possible. Literally anything to not be alone with this woman.’

Sometimes Feldman would pull Cooper in to sit next to her on the couch, the podcaster claimed, adding that the coach would often stare at her or place a hand on her thigh.

Fearful of Feldman’s power over her own scholarship, Cooper contacted attorneys who warned her of the potential consequences of taking legal action.

‘If I’m gonna be real with you, they will drag this on for years and this will be your life,’ Cooper quoted the attorneys in the film.

Eventually Cooper approached university staff about the problem.

‘I want to play my senior year,’ she said, recalling the conversation. ‘I want to finish out what I worked my entire life for, but I can’t play for this woman. They said, ‘We’re not gonna fire her, but you can keep your entire scholarship and that’s that.’ No investigation. Within five minutes, they had entirely dismissed everything I had been through.’

This is not the first time Cooper has referenced the alleged harassment. She told The Athletic in 2022 that she planned to talk about it after she was ‘healed.’

‘I’ll talk about it one day,’ Cooper said. ‘I had a traumatic experience happen in college with regard to soccer. It made me a stronger person. So, learning the tools of competitiveness, resilience, having to gain confidence in yourself. Although it was hard in the moment, that does translate to who I am today as the host of ‘Call Her Daddy.’

These days Cooper is a media titan after starting her podcasting career at Barstool Sports and moving on to Spotify with a three-year, $60 million deal in 2021.

Feldman coached the BU Terriers since 1995, when the school first adopted women’s soccer as a varsity sport, until 2022. Over that time, she guided the Terriers to 14 NCAA Tournament appearances, 13 conference titles and was twice named NSCAA Coach of the Year.
